Hi guys, this is my first thread on this forum. I hope of quick and accurate solution from all of you, EXPERTS ! ! ! Well, i use Bluetooth adapter in USB interface to access GPRS (Internet Service on GSM Cellular Phones). I have Sony Ericsson P-800 Phone through which i dial a number of ISP. Internet data comes to my computer by Bluetooth Adapter connected to my Laptop. Datacomes first in my p-800 and through it's bluetooth it transfers to bluetooth adapter connected to my computer.

So guys the same service i want to access in SuSe Linux 9.2 Pro too. I heard that SuSE 9.2 supports Bluetooth and WI-FI.

Let me tell you that my Bluetooth Adapter is detected & configured automatically by SuSE Linux successfully. And moreover , i can transfer files between my P-800 Cell phone and Laptop in SuSE Linux. In short, Suse provides "OBEX Object Push" Service and i can use it. But YaST configurations SuSE Linux shows that Dial-up Service through Bluetooth is also supported. But how to use that Service ? ? ..I don't know.


So any of you please guide me that how can i use Dial up Service through Bluetooth in Linux.

I hope for your quick kind reply..

Hi bedi....

I am having the same problem...... did you get yours sorted out?

Please let me know....thanks

Fade-Dude , Follow the Steps written below ONE BY ONE CAREFULLy........


1. Just plugin " Bluetooth Dongle into USB Port "

2. Turn your Cell Phone's Bluetooth on.

3. Open the file ' .etc.wvdial.conf ' in any Text Editor such as 'gedit' or 'kwrite' . and replace all the line with the following lines.

[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 57600
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
Init3 = ATM0
FlowControl = None
[Dialer GPRS]
Username = user
Password = user
Phone = ATD*99***3#
Stupid Mode = 1
Inherits = Modem0


4. now, open file /etc/ppp/options in text editor in the same way

and put # before all the lines starts with word lcp.

it should be 4 or 5 lines. Remember this


5. now , open terminal and run the following commands as the following order....

a.) [roo@localhost]#hcitool scan

This command will show the name of your call phone and one Six pairs digit address. COPY THIS ADDRESS.

b.) [roo@localhost]# sdptool search DUN

This commmand will show you that on which RFCOMM Channel you dial up networking is available in your cell phone.

c.) rfcomm bind 0 <address of cell phone you copied above> <rfcomm channel of dial up networking which is shown by b.) command>

6. After binding, just run ' kppp ' and make a dial up connection as we do in the case of ordinary modem.

just choose Modem Port as /dev/rfcomm0

and enter the phone no. exactly the same you entered in the /etc/wvdial.conf file.

NOTE : MY INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER'S NO IS *99***1# and *99***3#. You replace this no with your ISP's on both places.

7. After creating a dial up connection in ' kppp ' just press connect button.

8. As you Press Connect Button, on your cell phone you will be asked to enter a particular digit which is for bonding between your computer system and cell phone.

Enter the same digits here which you have in ' Yast ' - > Hardware - > ' Bluetooth ' configuration. Check it

9. As you enter the digit , ' kppp ' pop up shows the following in exact order...................


a. ) Modem Ready

b.) Initializing Modem

c. ) Dialing *99***1#

d. ) Authenticalting....

e.) Network Established or some thing like that.


10. Last but not least...........PLEASE BACK UP OF /etc/wvdial.conf & /etc/ppp/options


Please if this works for you then please SAY THANKS ATLEASET.
